These were the words of a song I woke up to on NPR. I thought it deserved to be repeated. Life is sweet... and life is messy. Brit's funeral yesterday was one of the most amazing celebrations of life I have been too. There was laughter and there were tears, but the most beautiful thing was that there was standing room only due to the large number of people who came to honor this great God-loving, all people loving man who when described in one word by the pastor, was a man of character. True character is rare in this world... yet he had true character. Brit was moral, kind, generous, loving, and humorous. He never had a bad word about anyone. Ever the Cubs and Bears fan, his optimism was unwavering. Always the sweet melon with very little mess... seedless for sure.
